Café Royal Grill occupies the historic Hotel Café Royal at 68 Regent Street. The Grade II listed room pairs ornate gilded detailing with a relaxed approach to service, continuing the legacy of a London address once associated with figures such as Oscar Wilde.
The menu reimagines British comfort food through seasonal, ingredient led cooking. Shellfish, smoked salmon and composed vegetable starters lead into grilled cuts, fish and familiar main courses prepared with a polished restaurant technique.
Sunday roast and afternoon tea give the dining room distinct experiences beyond the everyday à la carte service. Vegetarian dishes and a dedicated children’s menu broaden its appeal, while desserts and cheese complete a traditional multi course meal.
A deep wine list and cocktails inspired by Café Royal’s historic drinks book support the food. Live music on selected occasions and the room’s elaborate architecture make the Grill especially suited to celebrations, leisurely lunches and a memorable central London dinner.
Address: Hotel Café Royal, 68 Regent Street, London W1B 4DY, England
